Measure around the ankle at the narrowest point, generally above the ankle bone.

Measure from the floor to the bend behind the knee.

Measure around the thigh approximately 3" below the gluteal fold (crease of the buttocks).

Measure the distance from the bottom of your buttocks to the floor.

"I think the fit and quality is superb. The mg. of compression may have to be down one setting. I want to order another of the same stocking in lower compression."
"Support and durability of material main reason for selection. Service is timely and affordable."
"Excellent overall. Great quality. They stay up and don't creep down the thigh. Dizing charts were helpful in order to get the correct fit. . . very important."
"Have been using this brand and this particular style for 10 years. They are pricey but worth the money. This site has the best price around for Sigvaris"
"The compression stockings are great. Starting to get a bit pricey for my budget. They ship very fast."
"Tried other brands but this product is the best for me."
"I’m be been using these for 6+ years now. They hold up pretty well. I wash them in my machine but hang dry them and that works for me (usually lasting about a year) sometimes I need to re-sew the seams and I use skin glue to keep them up (I’m plus size) but I don’t have any problems with this product."
"I hate compression stockings. I am tall with a size 12 shoe. The closed toe stockings rub the end of my toes raw. The open toe roll up in my high arch and get very painful. There is a size tag senwed into the top band seam which is very irritating. Please sew that tag to the outside of the stocking. Such a simple little no brainer. The top band squeezes up on my thighs creating a hideous indent that is clearly visible through my slacks. And the top band rolls and becomes a painful tourniquet. I'd order panty hose to prevent the rolling and pain and ugly lines but no one makes panty hose to fit a 34/36 inseam leg. They are an expensive, ugly, painful inconvenience. And sadly a necessity with lymphedema. I will say I have tried Jobst and Juzo. Sigvaris is the best in my opinion, with more sizes and come in a longer length thigh high than the other brands which barely came above my knees."
"A great product at a reasonable price. Thank you!"
"Works fine, but could use improvements."
